This car was on display at the PCA Amelia Werks Reunion. I'd never seen a rear sway bar mounted inside the rear trunk.

I remember reading about these. So they could make pit stop adjustments I think.

That, and more travel for the bar on compression without hitting the trunk floor.

Longer drop links also mean less angular change throughout the suspension travel range. Which translates to more consistent resistance to roll and less binding and stress on the joints and hardware.
